DesignHammer Designs New Website for Raleigh Rescue Mission

Durham, NC, October 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- DesignHammer, a Durham-based web design and development company has recently completed work on the new Raleigh Rescue Mission website, now live at www.raleighrescue.org.

Raleigh Rescue Mission is a Christian, interdenominational nonprofit whose mission is to shelter the homeless and disadvantaged population in the community. In addition to shelter, the organization collaborates with a range of nonprofit organizations in order to offer comprehensive recovery services to individuals and families in need.

Before the re-design, the organization had a static HTML website which was proving inefficient both for cost and time needed to keep the site current. The organization also had defined goals they were seeking in a new design, such as an increase in donations for the charity, raising volunteerism, raising its status as an informational resource for homelessness and poverty, and making the site maintainable by the staff.

DesignHammer has maintained a relationship with Raleigh Rescue since 2007 as the provider of their hosting and maintenance services. On being selected for the re-design work, Managing Partner, David Minton stated, “Though DesignHammer provided website hosting and maintenance for the organization’s legacy website, we were very glad the Mission selected our firm for their ambitious website redesign project.”

Improvements to the website begin with an attractive new design with prominent call-to-action buttons for volunteering and donations, added throughout the website, which addressed the organization’s primary goal. The site now includes dynamic pages filled with information about Raleigh Rescue as well as homelessness, poverty, and links to their newsletter. The addition of a new Drupal content management system will also now ensure website content is current and easily maintainable by staff at the mission.

Leslie Currin, Director of Public Relations at the Mission said after the revised site went live, “I think the new site is excellent and according to the feedback we’ve received since the launch of the site, so do many others! The new site is not only aesthetically pleasing with a modern design, but has the functionality we desired to help engage people in our ministry.”
